So I’m not really sure I’d classify this as sci-fi. It’s much more sci-fi fantasy. Purely because killing yourself with a memory in mind doesn’t equate to time travel.
The initial section was quite boring honestly. Once it got into the time travel and alternate universes it was a quick read. The last two chapters they were just 50 pages of a POV were a little painful. Especially Barry’s. By like the third timeline I was over it and just like, save the world already.
The epilogue was… interesting. I liked the open ended need of the last line.
Moderate: Cursing

- Multiple POVs
- Great character development—the Barry and Helena you meet in the first few pages isn’t nearly the same ones you encounter at the end.
- Fast paced with engaging writing
- The science aspect—I’m a huge science nerd and really enjoyed how there was an even balance of science and plot throughout.
- Also the science aspect—at times I had to reread the same paragraphs a few times because I really wanted to make sense of the science Crouch was writing about. I’m not a physicist so who knows if anyone of it’s accurate, but I really wanted to be able to follow it and sometimes it felt a bit too dense (but it didn’t affect the plot).
